Paper maps are great. Never run out of juice, let you see the close up detail and the big picture at the same time (because they're three feet wide, unlike your phone), and the more you use them the more you learn your way around without them, unlike obeying a machine.

Thanks @mickeyundertone.bsky.social - an honour. Around this time we toyed with covering True Confessions - original EP version. Sadly (or happily) no tapes survive.

The Dentists go to the foot of their stairs. Their work of genius 'I Had An Excellent Dream' is on a great indie box set called Cut Me Deep. Came out about eighteen months ago. And it's on the Record Show again, just to cheer us up. Even if we don't need cheered up. buff.ly/L9U8iJv

The idea that Reform will moderate whatever plans they have for the civil service because Labour have done half the work for them seems....quaint.

Attorney General Richard Hermer has warned that failure by the Labour government to improve Whitehall delivery will pave the way for Reform UK to "dismantle" the civil service "We cannot leave the defence of effective government to those who would dismantle it"

This Government has already shown an extraordinary talent for Departments making policies that are disjointed and incoherent with each other. It's quite something that they are taking active steps to make that worse (1/2)

The Whitehall write-round process is to be overhauled, as PolHome first reported in November The Cabinet Office says a ripping up of "consultation culture" will "reform the process for collective Cabinet agreement of government policy to speed up decision-making"
